Hi, I don't have mets but can understand your worry about this. I too had a similar thing with my thumb and wrist. It was really painful for a couple of weeks. I bandaged it with some stretchy bandage and rested it and it did help. It doesn't bother me now but I still get the occasional twinge from it.
Like you, I am in the UK and would suggest you visit your GP and tell him about your concerns. He may refer you to casualty (ER for those in the States) for an X Ray. (Unfortunately here in the UK you cannot just go and get one. You have to be referred by your doctor.)
love
Sue
